As one of the original backers...yes, yes I would be.

Will you be bringing these to market before or after the Molyneux MAS-G?

Is it just the photo, or is the board as crispy as it looks?

Make sure you have the active brake turned off.

They absolutely can be used as weapon lights and are being sold as such, but my point was that unless you're trying to hunt small game in the woods at night, such a tight beam is a bit pointless.

Quite a good review here: https://overlandingsurvival.com/gear-review-olight-odin-turbo-best-lep-wml/ For me, it's TOO narrow and quite yellow looking. I would echo the review above in as much as it probably isn't actually the best thing for a weapon light unless you're using it for specific hunting applications.

Makes sense, they have the same OEM.

I like you, you're funny! OK, but what make is your "other M4"?

Pain in the arse with shipping and tax and stuff but... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Blackhawk-Bts-Double-Pistol-Mag-Pouch-W-Talon-flex-52PMK2BK-Pack-Of-5-/125046265785?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c1

Gold plated connectors for a low voltage signal wire that is literally on or off are a waste of money.

Reminds me of a line from Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy: Arthur "It's times like these I wish I had listened to my mother when I was younger" Ford "Why, what did she say?" Arthur "I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T LISTEN!"

The Blackhawk SF gear is like golden rocking horse poo! What I have worked out though is that if you get a plain green LBV88 from AliExpress and take the shoulder yoke off it you should be able to knock together a reasonable facsimile! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32839093386.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.2545lP4ZlP4ZJw&gps-id=pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.33416.274820.0&scm_id=1007.33416.274820.0&scm-url=1007.33416.274820.0&pvid=d514ce5d-bdcd-4502-b7c6-df977682fc5c&_t=gps-id:pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.33416.274820.0,pvid:d514ce5d-bdcd-4502-b7c6-df977682fc5c,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238108%231977&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"65191492064"%2C"sceneId"%3A"23416"}&pdp_npi=3%40dis!GBP!22.37!22.37!!!!!%40211b442016788065729262741e7685!65191492064!rec!UK!759559025

I have the GSP550. Lovely set of cans (oo-er).

Front sight on the MP5 is a fixed blade. All adjustments are made on the rear drum (same as the real thing).

More than likely the original gears were 18:1 but 16:1 shouldn't be an issue as long as you use the whole set. Absolutely buy a chrono if you're going to be working on your own guns though. Way back when I was rebuilding my first gun (an ancient TM M4A1 that is still going strong albeit with less original parts than Triggers broom) I managed to get SUCH a good airseal that even an M90 spring put it over the 328FPS limit for The Mall! It actually has an M85 in there now.

You could try a "silent" piston and cylinder head https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/cylinder-heads/xt-v2-v3-cylinder-piston-head-aluminium-silent Does your Predator have any kind of "blowback" function? One that cycles the fake bolt cover?

The noise on an electric gun mostly comes from the gearbox plus most airsoft suppressors are just empty tubes. There's plenty of airsoft tracer suppressors though, have a google and I'm sure you'll find them. The trick will be to make sure you get one that will fit inside the handguard on your predator.

Last week at F&O the Base, running Gods Plaid and a DPM Peacekeeper MK1 I picked up from Ebay! Lovely rig, nice and light and holds pretty much everything I could want it to (including M14 mags).

Too true! Lowest bidder and all that. I think he was more miffed that I had a pair of Lowa Zephyrs and he didn't! He was saying that pre-deployment nobody could get hold of gucci kit because airsofters had bought it all!

For some reason I now have this in my head as your loadout

IIRC Direct Action Gear is an offshoot of Helikon for their "high end" products. All I'd say with regards to WAS is that friends of mine that have served have said that it's better than what they were issued with.

Weight loss (and the subsequent regaining of it) has made an enormous difference to my knees etc. I need to get back down to a sensible weight though, back to nearly 18 stone!
